Like many of you, I am dreaming of the day when PST gets their act together and start producing tanks at a rate that is something near what the demand is currently at.
However, once that day comes, what tank should I get?
Currently I use an LP-95
I was originally eyeing up an E8-119, but looking at the specs for the E8's, I can't see why I wouldn't just go for a 130.
The 130 is about the same weight (a little less; 42.2lbs vs. 43.8lbs) and has simmilar buoyancy characteristics to the LP-95 (-1.8 empty and -11.55 full for the 130 and -3.3 empty and -10.4 full for the 95). Dimensionally they are the same diameter at 8 inches, and the 130 is only about 3/4 inch longer.
So, is there any reason I shouldn't just go for the 130?
Please feel free to not push doubles in this post. I'm not there yet, but plan on stepping up when I'm ready. Right now I'm sticking with single tank diving.
